I attended the first meeting last night, so its official: i'm on the obama voter defense team.
it's very exciting. i worked the nader campaign back when gore was running. being a partisan in a presidential election is an unforgettable experience. once in a while i'll bump into somebody from the nader campaign. anyone who worked it had a blast and has a lot of fond memories of the race.
obama is a whole different story. theres a good chance he's going to win. and while i don't agree with everything he stands for, i think he is going to make a great president.
(you can read some of my posts at westival. blogspot. com to see why). if he lives up to his enormous potential, and given the implicit historical nature of our first black president, i think this guy is going to end up on coins or stamps, and have things named after him. Working for Obama is going to be like working for JFK - I'll be on the right side of history.
I was going to just do the whole get out the vote thing - but this is so much better. Taking on Republican shenanigans, arguing before the Court on short notice, and for something truly noble: securing citizens' right to vote.
What an opportunity!
